Trafford Centre is investing in a major refresh of seating and customer facilities within The Orient, creating a more vibrant and welcoming environment for guests to eat, meet and relax.
The project forms part of the centre’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the visitor experience and follows continued investment across its retail, leisure and dining destinations.
Works are now underway and will be delivered in phases over the coming months, with improvements designed to minimise disruption while creating a more comfortable and contemporary dining environment.
The refreshed area will increase seating capacity by more than 60%, introducing a range of new seating styles including banquettes, family-friendly tables, accessible seating for guests with mobility requirements, and dedicated areas equipped with phone and laptop charging facilities.
The new-look space will feature upgraded furniture, enhanced lighting and planting, alongside flexible areas designed to encourage visitors to spend longer in The Orient.
Inspired by The Orient’s longstanding maritime heritage, the design takes cues from a contemporary cruise liner, combining elegant finishes, modern furnishings and a refreshed colour palette to create a brighter, more comfortable and welcoming environment.
A Trafford Centre spokesperson said:
“The Orient is one of the most popular destinations within Trafford Centre, welcoming millions of visitors each year. This investment reflects our commitment to continually improving the experience for our guests, creating a more modern, comfortable and social environment where visitors can meet, dine and spend time together. The improvements will not only significantly increase seating capacity but also deliver a much more flexible and accessible space for all visitors to enjoy.”
